Grant County is being represented in the 2011 Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac/KHSAA Boys State Golf Tournament, by Williamstown senior Sean Moreland and Grant County senior Tim Livingood. The tournament was played Oct. 4-5 at the Bowling Green Country Club.

Moreland, who edged out Livingood by a stroke in the regional tournament in Maysville, Sept. 28, said he was impressed with his performance, especially after they way he started.

After winning the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference tournament for the second straight season, Grant County High School junior Sarah Kellam pushed that momentum to a four-stroke win at the 8th Region Golf Tournament at Twin Oaks in Covington Sept. 28.

Kellam said that at the beginning of the season she was worried about the team’s youth, but with the team missing the cut by just eight strokes at the regional tournament, tthose worries only disappeared.

Williamstown senior Sean Moreland and Grant County senior Tim Livingood will represent their schools at the Leachman Buick Cadillac/KHSAA state golf tournament Oct. 3-5 at the Bowling Green Country Club.

Moreland shot a 77, placing him third overall at the regional meet at Maysville Country Club.

Livingood qualified with a score of 78 and the Grant County Braves golf team placed fourth as a team. Only the top two schools from each region qualify and only three individuals can qualify for the state tournament.

After some tough competition the past couple of weeks and seeing their record go from 5-0-0 to 5-2-1, the Lady Braves finished second in the third annual Dry Ridge Toyota Classic Sept. 17 at Grant County Middle School.

“Being a first time coach, my expectations were that we play to our level and play well as a team. My hope was to make a good run at being tournament champions,” Lady Braves coach Sarah Boone said.

In the first game, the Lady Braves defeated Carroll County 4-1, to secure a spot in the championship game against Bishop Brossart.
